DONIZETTI - VIVA LA MAMMA - ADELAIDA NEGRI’s COLLECTION

VIVA LA MAMMA, is a free adaptation of LE CONVENIENZE ED INCONVENIENZE TEATRALI by Gaetano Donizetti. Adelaida Negri, although at the time her voice wasn’t in her prime, in this series of performances, her voice was already in decline, adding to that she was never an actress. I Upload the Opera, for people who like Comic Operas, I personally don’t find it funny, I find the whole cast pathetic. Adelaida and I were very good friends, in a situation she called me on the phone and I was listening to a CD of María Callas and she told me what are you doing listening to my rival. She believed herself to be the successor of María Callas, and although in her youth she had the volume of Ghena Dimitrova, with Coloratura and the high notes (She can sing the Queen Of The Nigh) they had the power of a TURANDOT, her low notes were powerful and natural, but as a musician she was far, far away, an a abyss away from Maria Callas.
